Jenny Beavan: New Works | Summer 2023

Water saturates, shifts, seeps, explores, exploits, distracts, destroys, manoeuvres, penetrates, mixes, grades, attacks, finds a way, a path a passage, dislodges, surrounds, circulates, gravitates, yet can be drawn upwards to form clouds. It can contain contaminants, minerals, debris, and detritus. It can damage – uproot vegetation but gently carry its seed. It can create a multitude of sounds in its movement and yet at times travel peacefully in silence. It can be affected by external influences – light and dark, heat and air in motion. Water is constantly changing its condition.
